Glad you've pointed that out. Yet, XRP fanboys are blinded by greed and will ignore the economic aspects of their "shitcoin". The fact that many are predicting XRP will reach $10 all the way to $100 is insane. Tells a lot about the ignorance of people in crypto land. We, Bitcoiners, know there's no other coin that can outmatch Bitcoin's level of decentralization and censorship-resistance. Added scarcity is a plus.
Who cares if XRP is faster and cheaper to use than BTC? As long as XRP remains centralized, it won't be going anywhere soon. A government crackdown or network takeover, and XRP will be done for good. That's why nothing can "beat the King". We'll see how long XRP lasts...
Centralized is bad that's why Bitcoin was created, then years later Ripple is a centralized company with a centralized blockchain was created to bring us back to centralization.
Ripple fans don't want to admit a root cause of Bitcoin creation and existence that are to change the world from centralization to decentralization, and to bring more freedom, privacy to people on Earth.
Faster and cheaper in a coin price as well as transaction fee don't mean too much with people who care about anonymity and privacy.
Ripple is even not in this comparison, it is not a Proof of Work blockchain.
